May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Hebrews 13:20-21)

We have been studying the names of God this week.  I would love to hear what you are learning through this study.  How have you come to know the character of God in a new way?

Here are the names of God that we have studied so far:

1.  Elohim ~ God is the All-Powerful One, He is the Creator.

2.  El Roi ~ The God who sees me.

3.  El Shaddai ~ The All Sufficient One, God Almighty.

4.  Immanuel ~ God with us.

5.  Jehovah Jireh ~ The Lord will provide.

6.  Jehovah Mekaddishkem ~ The Lord who sanctifies.

But you, O Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations. (Psalm 102:12)

Are you someone who wears a lot of hats in life?  Do you have many roles to play?  Lately, I’ve been thinking about the hats I wear.  Here are just a few… Daughter of God, Wife, Homemaker, Daughter, Sister, Niece, Friend, Confident, Encourager, Writer, Counselor, Mentor, and Mentee.  We all have many hats to wear in life, but none of us wear more hats than God.  And only He wears each one well.  You never see God taking a day off or forgetting what role to play in what moment. He ever so graciously moves from role to role, being exactly who we need Him to be in every moment.

There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty.  The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:26-27)

Never say Never

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

Today, I celebrate my 6 month anniversary off of medication.  I celebrate the fact that there is only one “never” that God believes in.  You see, I have heard the word never many times when it comes to my health.  I heard that I would never come off of medication, never be seizure free, never be migraine free, never have full rotation in my neck after surgery, and never enjoy some of the things that I enjoyed prior to my neck surgery.  I’ve learned that God only believes in one never.  He says, “HE will NEVER leave nor forsake me.”  This is the only “never” that exists in God’s dictionary.  He blows all the other “Nevers” to smithereens.
